to lie around and just be admired. Abys are not always thought of as lap
cats, but love to be where you are. They interact with their owners and
often enjoy the company of another cat. Abyssinians are often thought of
as cats that like to be in high places, such as the top of a refrigerator
or a bookshelf. They seem to be more inclined to use their paws like a
human would use their hands. Abys are not known for being particularly
loud cats and can communicate their feelings and desires in many ways.
It is often said that Abys have a great love of water. They seem to enjoy
playing in a dripping faucet, as well as drinking from them. Loyal is often
used to describe the Abyssinian and they make wonderful companions.
Abyssinians are most suitable for someone looking for an active and loving
cat. They will continue to entertain with their antics for years. Abyssinians

is a cat that usually maintains a good activity level even out of kittenhood.
